Appendix - Supporting Maps .................................................................................................................... 29 2 1. Background Swindon town lies within Swindon Borough, a unitary authority to the northeast of the county of Wiltshire. The town owes its existence to the establishment of the Great Western Railway in the 1840s and, following extensive growth and post-war development, Swindon has transformed itself from a town dominated by the railway industry into one with a prosperous economy with a mix of modern industries. Roughly 86% of the population of Swindon Borough now live within the Swindon urban area, which contrasts greatly in character with the predominantly rural districts of Wiltshire. 1.1 Swindon Biodiversity Action Plan The decision was made to produce a separate Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) for the Swindon urban area to reflect the very different pressures experienced by habitats and species within the urban context compared to those within the wider, predominantly rural surroundings of Wiltshire and the Swindon Borough. It is important to consider the Swindon BAP alongside a number of other documents including the Swindon Core Strategy, Swindon Green Infrastructure Strategy and the Wiltshire BAP 2008 and the Cotswold Water Park BAP . In line with the methodology adopted for the landscape addition to the Wiltshire BAP, the Swindon BAP focusses on the best opportunities for protecting and enhancing priority habitats within the urban area. It looks to establish links between fragmented habitats to produce a coherent and resilient ecological network which can buffer the effects of climate change and allow the movement of species between them. This BAP attempts to adopt a more ecosystem-wide, landscape-scale approach in line with the Government’s recommendations put forward in the Natural Environment White Paper and the desired outcomes outlined in the England Biodiversity Strategy. 1.2 Biodiversity The green spaces and priority habitats within Swindon Borough have experienced many and varied pressures in recent decades, including urban development and agricultural intensification. Within the urban area there are 24 County Wildlife Sites (CWS), sites designated as being of substantive biodiversity importance (see map in Appendix, Figure 8). These cover a number of habitats including Neutral grassland (6), Broadleaved Woodland (9), Calcareous grassland (1), Fens, marsh and swamp (1), River (1), Standing open water (3), Wet woodland (2) and a mosaic of habitats (1). There are some very valuable areas of priority habitat and green spaces within and adjacent to the urban limits of the town including the historic parkland of Lydiard Park which borders the east of the urban area and beyond this, the remaining extent of the former hunting forest of Braydon Forest. The extent of the North Wessex Downs AONB extends to the southeast corner of the Swindon urban area and extensive woodland areas have been developed around the town via the Community Forests initiative, such as at Shaw Forest Park to the northeast of the town and Wroughton Wood to the south. 3 There are four Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) within the urban limits of the town (Appendix, figure 8), primarily designated for their Earth Heritage or geological importance, being either disused quarry sites or railway cuttings. Additionally there are eight Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) within the Swindon peri-urban area which have the potential to be impacted by future development and expansion of the Swindon urban area (Click on table to left to view details). The underlying geology of Swindon is characterised by two large bands of Kimmeridge and Oxford clays running horizontally across the town, split by a band of limestone fossilised coral beds. In the south of the town lies an area of Purbeck and Porton stone which is of particularly high geological interest being rich in fossil deposits. The River Ray, a tributary of the River Thames whose catchment encompasses the area to the north of Swindon, passes through the western suburbs of Swindon urban area and represents a primary focus of wildlife and conservation efforts within the urban limits. Lowland meadow and wetland habitats associated with the Thames tributaries of the River Ray and the River Cole to the east of the urban area represent the main priority habitats within the urban area. The historic line of the Wilts & Berks Canal runs to the south of the urban area and on to Abingdon in Oxfordshire, whilst the historic line of the North Wilts Canal forms a spur linking the Wilts & Berks to the Thames and the River Severn north of Cricklade. Some sections of the canal network have been restored under the auspices of the Canal Trusts, and are currently ‘in water’. Swindon urban area falls across two National Character Areas; the Upper Thames Clay Vales and the Midvale Ridge. These define the character of the wider landscape and group areas according to geology and both present-day and past land use rather than administrative boundaries. They provide a more meaningful basis on which to evaluate the wildlife and geological resources of an area and offer a better way of planning nature conservation action at an ecosystem or landscape scale. 1.3 Threats

  • POLICE and CRIME PANEL 3 September 2015 Introduction This
    POLICE AND CRIME PANEL 3rd September 2015 Introduction This report sets out a summary of the commitments I have undertaken since the last Police and Crime Panel meeting held on 18th June 2015. I write a weekly blog which provides a brief overview for the public of what I have been up. This is published on my website (www.wiltshire-pcc.gov.uk) and the content of these blogs is copied below for the Panel’s information. Friday 19 June I had a regular 1-2-1 with the Assistant Chief Officer for Business and People Development , Zoe Durrant before attending a board meeting of the Community Foundation in Devizes. In the evening I joined fellow resident of Wroughton at a reception at Overton House in support of the Conservative party. Saturday 20 June After a day in the garden I left home at 7.30pm in evening to go to the Royal School of Artillery in Larkhill where I met up with officers and staff for a briefing on the police activities at summer solstice. After the briefing we had a quick meal in the excellent canteen before driving to the new visitors centre at Stonehenge. I spent my time walking from visitors centre to the stones talking to officers, helpers and the public. It was a beautiful evening, relatively warm and dry. The area around the stones themselves was extremely crowded. I also headed to Avebury where another group of officers was policing. This was a much smaller event than Salisbury and I particularly enjoyed a conversation the Force Chaplain had with a pagan worshiper about his alignment with the police.

Importantly, it always welcome contributions from also reminds the wider Bat Group community mammologists throughout Wiltshire! that we exist, and have a real role to play locally in Bat Conservation in the South West. Handover from the previous Chair We haven’t changed much about the group itself, we are still pretty informal, we don’t have The last year and a half has been pretty eventful an elected committee, and we still have our two for the WBG. As you will all know, Steve Laurence who had been the Coordinator of the Bat Group for many years decided to retire, so to keep the group going I was persuaded to take on the role. I’m really glad I did, because it is obvious there is still a massive appetite from bat workers in Wiltshire to go out and get involved, to carry on with cutting edge scientific studies and projects and to promote the bat conservation cause. I’m now really pleased to hand the role over into the capable hands of Richard Dodd. I’ve kept two very simple questions in Hibernation surveys, Bath & Bradford-on-Avon SAC, February 2015 mind over the last eighteen months, © Will Ponting they were ‘what is the bat group for?’ and, ‘how can the WBG support meetings a year in May and November where individuals and groups studying bats within the everyone is welcome to attend and contribute.

  • Examiner's Report Into the Wroughton Neighbourhood Plan 2016 to 2026
    WROUGHTON NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2015 - 2026 The Report of the Independent Examiner to Swindon Borough Council on the Wroughton Neighbourhood Plan Andrew Matheson MSc MPA DipTP MRTPI FCIH Independent Examiner 4th April 2016 Summary & Index I was appointed by Swindon Borough Council in March 2016 to undertake the Independent Examination of the Wroughton Neighbourhood Plan. The Examination has been undertaken by written representations. I visited the Neighbourhood Area on 15th March 2016. The Neighbourhood Plan proposes a range of policies and seeks to bring forward positive and sustainable development in the Parish. There is an evident focus on safeguarding the very distinctive character of the village in its rural setting. The Plan has been underpinned by extensive community support and engagement. The social, environmental and economic issues identified have been brought together into a coherent plan which has been the subject of a Strategic Environmental Assessment. Subject to a series of recommended modifications set out in this Report I have concluded that the Wroughton Neighbourhood Plan meets all the necessary legal requirements and should proceed to referendum. I recommend that the referendum should be held within the Neighbourhood Area.

  • Swindon Green Infrastructure Strategy 2010-2016
    A Green Infrastructure Strategy for Swindon 2010-2026 Revised Consultation Document A Green Infrastructure Strategy for Swindon 2010-2026 Revised Consultation Document February 2011 Prepared on behalf of Swindon Borough Council. Great Western Community Forest Swindon Borough Council Wat Tyler House Beckhampton Street Swindon SN1 2JH www.swindon.gov.uk Foreword Swindon is home to a wealth of green-spaces, both within the town and reaching into the beautiful countryside surrounding the town and villages. Our open-spaces are knitted into the fabric of the town, greatly treasured by local people and widely enjoyed by visitors. They are part of our everyday lives: where we work, do business and learn, the way we travel around, where we play, celebrate and spend our leisure time. They play host to precious wildlife, are part of our cultural heritage and sit in a landscape shaped over the centuries. In short our parks, green-spaces and surrounding countryside play a major role in enriching our quality of life, environment and economy. We are now asking more and more of our open spaces and countryside as Swindon continues to expand. At the same time our green-infrastructure also has a critical role to play in facing up to the uncertainties and implications of climate change. There is now recognition in policy terms that enhanced ‘green infrastructure’ is needed to support Swindon’s future growth and ambitions: in the same way that we need new roads, schools and other community facilities. In response, plans are needed to set out priorities and locations for networks of green-spaces across the Borough and linkages across neighbouring authority areas as part of Swindon’s regeneration and growth.
